Time 1h30m

Yield 18 - 20 crepes, 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound boiling potatoes, scrubbed
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
Salt to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
3 eggs
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 to 2 tablespoons milk, optional
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
Sour cream or creme fraiche and caviar, or sugar and jam, optional, for serving

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a pot of cold water, bring to a boil and cook gently until they are tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Drain, then peel and finely mash the potatoes in a mixing bowl. You should have about 1 1/2 cups potato puree.
  • Add flour and salt and pepper, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the cream, mix until smooth, cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • The next day the mixture should have the consistency of Russian dressing. If it is too thick, thin it with a tablespoon or two of milk. Check seasonings.
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Place 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. When the butter turns a light amber, drop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the batter in the skillet, allowing it to spread by itself. You should be able to fry 3 pancakes at a time, allowing enough space between them so they have a nice round shape. They should be about 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Cook about a minute on the first side, flip them over and cook about 30 seconds longer. Remove from the pan, and place on a heatproof platter in the oven to keep warm. Continue adding butter to the pan and frying the rest of the batter.
  • Serve the crepes warm as a side dish, or topped with caviar and sour cream or creme fraiche or, for dessert, with jam and a sprinkling of sugar.

I'm not a fan of crepes, but these potato crepes were an exception. They were savory and satisfying, and the Mere Blanc sauce was the perfect complement.

The potato crepes were delicious, but the Mere Blanc sauce was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try a lighter sauce next time.

These potato crepes were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try using less butter next time.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the crepes were a bit too thick for my liking. I think I'll use less batter next time.

The crepes were a bit bland for my taste, even with the Mere Blanc sauce. I think I'll add some herbs and spices next time.

I substituted almond flour for the all-purpose flour, and the crepes still turned out great! I also used a vegan cheese alternative in the Mere Blanc sauce, and it was delicious.
